I was just looking at some pictures we had taken while we were at the beach in August.  The photographer took some of just Toffer and I.  Several of them are just the two of us looking at each other laughing. I love that after almost seven years of marriage we look at each other with incredible amounts of love and that we laugh together like we do. It’s one of the reasons I love my dear husband-he makes me laugh! Some people say that at seven years you starting getting a little antsy and you get an itch to look for something else.  I keep feeling like we’re barely started on this beautiful and amazing journey of marriage.  My parents have been married almost forty years. I love that they also still look at each other with incredible amounts of love and that they still laugh together, too.  I have this incredible legacy of faith and love and marriage in my family that I am ever so thankful for it.  The older I get the more thankful I become for the previous generations and the examples they set in loving God, loving their families, and loving their country. I pray that I can be the woman God wants me to be so that some day my boys will say “my parents have been married almost forty years and they still look at each other with love and they still laugh together.”
